Yes he went straight away mate, they give him 5 stitches. they gave him antibiotics and pain killers, and told hm to take it easy for a few weeks.

if its Stihl chainsaw then tell him to wear the shit to protect him. the fibres its made from will stop ya getting missing limbs. sooo many people i used to know in the tree surgery game used to lose parts..not nice

happened to a mate a while back, cutting a paving stone, he did have hold of it with one hand but it got jammed and then flipped and turned on him, got a very nasty cut on his chest.

he was very lucky indeed.

ive seen people lucky that there arms or legs are like that pic when using chainsaws. obviously its slipped or skimmed across not just dropped and through. i have seen a fella who natural reaction when you drop something is to try catch it....just hedgecutter wasnt the best thing to try catch....by the its blades
